ELECTRICAL AND ITS ENGINEERING – JUNE 2019 Page 3-5

INTRODUCTION

This Cobalt programming guide was originally distributed as part of a one-day Cobalt programming course provided by the BC Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure Electrical and ITS Engineering.

It is not the intent of this guide to show how to utilize every aspect of the Econolite Cobalt controller unit. Rather the intent is to standardize the process of programming a Cobalt unit to MoTI signal operation standards. This includes interpreting the documentation provided by MoTI Traffic Engineering and the traffic controller assembly design and applying it via the Cobalt user interface.

GUIDE SCOPE AND USE This guide is limited to the programming of the Econolite Cobalt controller unit via its front panel interface. The Cobalt has two display modes: a full-colour touchscreen graphical display, and the classic text-based view similar to that of the Econolite ASC/3 controller interface. This guide requires the use of the classic view as its layout and interface is better suited for training and instruction.

The core of this guide is divided into six main sections: Configuration Data, Controller Data, Coordinator Data, Preemptor Data, Time Base Data and Detector Data. These sections directly correspond to the six programming sub-menus found on the Cobalt’s Main Menu. Each section is presented on an exhaustive screen-by-screen basis outlining the appropriate programming process.

MoTI programming standards requires that only data needed at an intersection be entered. Therefore data fields in the controller unit not used shall be left disabled or at default settings as described in this guide. This guide does not provide instruction on how to program features not currently used for standard MoTI signal operation. Instead it is indicated that the features are not used and the appropriate data entry to disable the features is given.

Note that the instructions within this guide are not meant to modify or replace information provided by the Cobalt’s manufacturer. You are strongly urged to refer to the manufacturer’s documentation for further detail on Cobalt operation. Additionally this guide is not a stand-alone Cobalt guide or reference. It is to be used in conjunction with formal training where participants can discuss and learn the content from a technical expert.

EXAMPLE INTERSECTIONS The final sections of this manual present completed and proven Cobalt programs for example intersections. Each section begins with the documentation you should expect to have before starting to program a controller unit: a TE series intersection site plan including a Signal Display Diagram, a MoTI approved Signal Timing Sheet (STS) and a Loop Assignment Sheet (LAS). After the documentation the Cobalt program for these intersections is presented on a screen-by-screen basis for your reference.

The example intersections provided are:

1. A pedestrian activated crosswalk signal. 2. A 5-phase intersection with conflicting dual left-turns on the highway. This intersection also has

3-way directional emergency pre-emption.

COBALT PROGRAMMING GUIDE SETUP AND NAVIGATION


3. An 8-phase intersection with protected/permissive left-turns on the highway and protected/permissive left turns on the cross-street. This intersection has 4-way directional emergency pre-emption. It also has rail pre-emption on one cross-street approach where the protected/permissive left turns are only activated during rail preemption.

Note that the example program sections only describe those data entries that require analysis and entry by the user. If details are not given for any entries it is assumed the default value is used as indicated in the general programming section.

GUIDE AUDIENCE AND TRAINING GOALS The audience for Cobalt programming training and this guide are journeymen electricians and senior electrical apprentices actively involved in highways electrical maintenance. All training attendees are expected to complete the training course before applying the contents of this guide at their workplace.

Training participants that have completed the course and learned the contents of this manual should be able to:

1. Interpret standard MoTI signal design documentation: a. TE series intersection site plan and signal display diagram b. Signal Timing Sheet c. Loop Assignment Sheet

2. Locate the appropriate Cobalt programming screen for each type of data gathered from the signal design documentation.

3. Describe the purpose of all used Cobalt programming fields. 4. Enter the appropriate data into the Cobalt based on the signal design documentation. 5. Verify and test the validity of the programmed data and backup the program to a USB device.


COBALT SETUP AND NAVIGATION

CLASSIC VIEW Before using this manual to aid you in programming an Econolite Cobalt controller unit you will need to put it in its classic view mode. If it is in the graphics mode (shown above) follow these steps:

1. Press the Main Menu button in the top right corner of the controller unit. 2. Press the Settings icon on the touchscreen display. 3. Press Switch to Classic View on the touchscreen display. 4. Press OK on the right side of the touchscreen display. 5. Press the Main Menu button again.

NAVIGATION IN CLASSIC VIEW To navigate classic view menus simply press the numeric button on the Cobalt that corresponds to the number of the menu item you wish to access. To return to the previous menu press the Sub button located beside the Main Menu button. Note that Cobalt documentation and this programming guide make use of Econolite’s short-notation to describe how to find a sub-menu or data screen. For example, to program the Cobalt phase sequence you need to get to its data screen by: starting at the Main Menu, press 1 to access the Configuration Sub-Menu, press 1 again to access the Controller Sequence Sub-Menu, and press 1 again to access the Phase Ring Sequence and Assignment Data Screen. In short-notation you would describe getting to this data screen as MM-1-1-1.



Once you are in a data screen you will need to move the screen cursor around to those data fields you wish to program. To do so simply use the directional pad on the Cobalt to move the cursor up, down, left & right.

DATA ENTRY IN CLASSIC VIEW Once you have moved the cursor under the field you wish to change, you will need to enter data to program the Cobalt controller unit. There are two types of programming fields that you will encounter: toggle fields and numeric fields.

1. Toggle Field – A toggle field is a field with a limited number of pre-defined options. To cycle (toggle) through the available options you can press the 0 button or use the + and – toggle buttons located immediately below the directional pad. Refer to the Cobalt help screen for a list of the available options for each field.

2. Numeric Field – In a numeric field you can use the numeric keypad to enter your data provided it is within the allowable range for that field. Refer to the Cobalt help screen for the allowable numeric range for each field.

TRANSACTION MODE Some fields that you change are considered critical by the Cobalt. They are considered critical because they could affect the safe operation of an intersection if you were making these changes on a ‘live’ controller unit.

If you try to move away from a critical field or press Enter after changing a critical field the Cobalt will immediately display its Transaction Mode warning screen. A summary of this screen is as follows:

1. The changes you made are not yet saved and will be deleted if you do not save them in the next 20 minutes.

2. If you have more changes to make and don’t want to be bothered by the Transaction Mode warning screen after every programming change you can: press the Clear button (F button) to get rid of the warning screen, continue making programming changes, and then press the Spec Func followed by the Enter key to save all the changes.

3. If you wish to delete the change you made press the Spec Func key followed by the Clear key.

Note that in (2) above if you leave the Transaction Mode warning screen to make more changes you will still see a message in the top line of the display reminding you that you are still in Transaction Mode and will need to press the appropriate keys to either save or clear your changes.

HELP SCREEN This guide is intended to be as comprehensive as possible in describing how to program a Cobalt to MoTI standards. However on occasion you may be required to program a feature that is not normally used or program it in a non-standard way. In these instances it is recommended that you refer to the Cobalt manufacturer’s documentation. One of the most accessible forms of documentation is the Cobalt’s context sensitive help screens. When programming a Cobalt you can move the cursor under any field on the screen and press the Help key to get a detailed description of the programming feature and its allowable programming values. This is an invaluable source of programming knowledge and you are



urged to make use of it regularly when programming. To leave a help screen back to the menu you were in, simply press the Help key again.

COBALT PROGRAMMING GUIDE CONFIGURATION DATA


CONFIGURATION DATA PROGRAMMING

SELECTION: Enter ‘1’ to access Configuration Sub-Menus

SELECTION: Enter ‘1’ to access Controller Sequence Sub-Menus



SELECTIONS: Menus ‘1’, ‘2’, ‘3’ & ‘4’ are used. The following pages describe typical programming for these menus. Option ‘5’ is not used.



PHASE RING SEQUENCE AND ASSIGNMENT DATA MENU (MM-1-1-1)

CONTROLLER SEQUENCE # Enter 1. If more than one controller sequence is needed then enter another sequence number and program it as required.

SEQUENCE COMMANDS

You can toggle though the following commands if needed: Copy current sequence configuration to higher Controller Sequence numbers, Select Barrier mode for entering the sequence, and Select Compatibility mode for entering the sequence. ENTER selects the option.

HW ALT SEQ ENA Enter NO.

BC

Indicates if the controller sequence is shown in Barrier (B) or Compatibility (C) mode. Default NEMA Dual-Ring is shown in the example and will work for most intersections. Compatibility mode may be required for non-standard controller sequences and requires the phase compatibilities be programmed in the ‘Phase Compatibility’ Menu (MM-1-1-2). In Barrier mode you can move the cursor along the BC row to insert more barriers in the sequence.

R1-4 Enter the phases assigned to each ring. Most intersections will operate with the standard NEMA Dual Ring configuration shown.



Default NEMA Dual-Ring Controller Sequence Data Screen in Barrier Mode

(MM-1-1-1)



PHASE COMPATIBILITY DATA MENU (MM-1-1-2) (Note this menu is unavailable if Controller Sequence is in barrier mode in MM-1-1-1)

PHASE COMPATIBILITY MATRIX

Enter an X for all compatible phases. Phases 1-16 are listed from right-to-left on top row and top-to-bottom on left column. Toggle an X for all phases that may be on at the same time (compatible) in the Controller Sequence programmed in MM-1-1-1. The image shown gives the same compatibilities as the Barrier Mode sequence shown in the previous data screen.



Default NEMA Dual-Ring Phase Compatibilities (MM-1-1-2)



BACKUP PREVENT PHASES DATA MENU (MM-1-1-3)

BACKUP PREVENT PHASE MATRIX

Toggle a B for any phase (row number) to apply an all-red period when backing up to re-service a protected/permissive left turn phase (column number) without automatically setting field displays to all-red first. This is used to prevent any potential left-turn trap scenarios. E.g. if phase 1 is a protected/permissive left turn enter a B in Row 2 & Column 1. The all-red time is determined by the Red Revert time programmed under the current Timing Plan (MM-2-1). Note - if you would rather go to another phase before servicing the backup phase rather than going to all-red: Place the B in the location described above but also place a C in the same row beneath the phase number you wish to service before the backup phase.



Default Backup Prevent Data Screen (MM-1-1-3)



SIMULTANEOUS GAP PHASES DATA MENU (MM-1-1-4)

SIMULTANEOUS GAP PHASES MATRIX

Toggle an X in the row and column of the recall phases as indicated on the STS. E.g. if highway phases 2 & 6 are the recall phases: enter an X on Row 2 under Column 6 and enter an X on Row 6 under Column 2.



Default Simultaneous Gap Phases Data Screen (MM-1-1-4)

SELECTION: After entering the data above return to the Configuration Sub-Menu by pressing the Sub key or by entering MM-1.

SELECTION: Enter ‘2’ to access the Phase In Use Data Screen



PHASE IN USE/PED DATA MENU (MM-1-2)

IN USE Toggle an X under all active phases in the controller sequence. All phases set as ON in the STS are set as in use.

EXCLUSIVE PED

Toggle an X under any phases to be used as an exclusive pedestrian movement phase. An exclusive pedestrian movement times only the pedestrian intervals for that phase. No vehicle timings for that phase will be timed and no concurrent vehicle phases will operate at the same time as an exclusive ped.



Default Phases In Use / Exclusive Ped Data Screen (MM-1-2)


SELECTION: Enter ‘3’ to access the Load Switch Assignment Data Screen.



LOAD SWITCH ASSIGNMENT DATA MENU (MM-1-3)

PHASE/OVLP

Use the cursor and the numeric keypad to assign phase and overlap numbers to the Load Switch number in column LD. The typical Load Switch Assignment convention:

Load Switch Phase/Ovlp/Ped Load

Switch Phase/Ovlp/Ped

1 Vehicle Phase 1 9 Ped Phase 2

2 Vehicle Phase 2

or Overlap 2 (B) if AW

10 Ped Phase 4

3 Vehicle Phase 3 11 Ped Phase 6

4 Vehicle Phase 4

or Overlap 4 (D) if AW

12 Ped Phase 8

5 Vehicle Phase 5 13 Spare Overlap/Phase

6 Vehicle Phase 6

or Overlap 6 (F) if AW

14 Spare Overlap/Phase

7 Vehicle Phase 7 15 Spare Overlap/Phase

8 Vehicle Phase 8

or Overlap 8 (H) if AW

16 Spare Overlap/Phase

Note: If this is a Cobalt TS2-Type 2 to be retrofit into a TS1 cabinet (M or S) it is important to note that regardless of what phase you choose to drive each Load Switch, a TS1 cabinet and its CMU see each Load Switch as:

a) Load Switch 1-8 = TS1 Phases 1-8 b) Load Switch 9-12 = TS1 Phases 2,4,6&8 Peds c) Load Switch 13-16 = TS1 Overlaps A-D

E.g. In a Cobalt retrofit Type S Cabinet, if you assign a program phase/overlap to Load Switch 13 in this screen, that phase/overlap will control the Overlap A Load Switch as noted in the Controller Plans.

TYPE

Toggle the type of controller outputs assigned to the load switch. V for vehicle outputs, O for overlap outputs and P for pedestrian outputs. Refer to the table above for typical TYPE assignment for each Load Switch.

DIMMING – R, Y, G Enter ‘.’.

DIMMING – D Enter ‘.’.

FLASH – PWR Enter A.

FLASH – AUT Enter flash colour for each phase. Flash colour is indicated on the STS under Intersection Flash.



Overlaps used for the traffic signal displays of an Advance Warning phase should flash the Intersection Flash colour indicated for the corresponding phase on the STS.

FLASH – TGR

Not used. All load switches with an X will flash together in automatic flash. All load switches with an ‘.’ will flash together in automatic flash, but on an alternate cycle to those marked X.



Default Load Switch Assignment Data Screen (MM-1-3)


SELECTION: Enter ‘4’ to access the Port 1 (SDLC) Sub-Menu.



THIS PAGE IS LEFT INTENTIONALLY BLANK



Port 1 (SDLC) Sub-Menu (MM-1-4)

SELECTION: Enter ‘1’ to access the Port 1 (SDLC) Options Data Screen.



PORT 1 (SDLC) DATA MENU (MM-1-4-1)

TERM & FACILITY

TS2 Installation: Toggle an X under BIUs 1 if only one detector rack is present or BIU 1 & 2 as shown if two racks are present. This indicates to the Controller Unit that there are BIUs used for critical inputs and outputs. These correspond to the two Load Switch BIUs. The controller unit WILL go into fault and put the intersection in flash if communications to these BIUs is not present. TS1 Retrofit Installation: Leave all entries blank. There are no BIUs in NEMA TS1 Cabinets.

DETECTOR RACK

TS2 Installation: Toggle an X under BIUs 1 & 2 as shown. This indicates to the Controller Unit that there are BIUs used for detector inputs. This is not required at signals with no vehicle detection such as a pedestrian actuated signal. TS1 Retrofit Installation: Leave all entries blank. Detectors are hardwired to the controller inputs.

ENABLE TS2/MMU TYPE CABINET

TS2 Installation: Enter YES. TS1 Retrofit Installation: Enter NO.

ENABLE MMU EXTENDED STATUS Enter NO.

ENABLE SDLC STOP TIME TS2 Installation: Enter YES. TS1 Retrofit Installation: Enter NO.

ENABLE 3 CRITICAL RFEs LOCKUP

TS2 Installation: Enter YES. TS1 Retrofit Installation: Enter NO.

MMU TO CU SDLC EXTERNAL START Enter ENABLED.



Default Port 1 (SDLC) Data Screen (MM-1-4-1)

SELECTION: After entering the data above return to the Port 1 (SDLC) Sub-Menu by pressing the Sub key or by entering MM-1-4.

SELECTION: Enter ‘2’ to access the MMU Program Data Screen.



MMU PROGRAM DATA MENU (MM-1-4-2)

MMU PROGRAM

TS2 Installation; Toggle to MANUAL. The other useful option is CLEAR if you wish to clear all compatibility matrix entries and start over. AUTO should not be used as it has the controller unit determine what it thinks the compatibilities should be. COPY MMU should not be used as it uses SDLC communications to the MMU to copy the compatibilities on the MMU Program Card to the Compatibility Matrix on this data screen. TS1 Retrofit Installation: Disabled Screen. As the TS2/MMU Type Cabinet option was disabled in the last screen, you will be unable to access this screen.

MMU PROGRAM COMPATIBILITY MATRIX

TS2 Installation; For each channel row place an X under each channel column which is compatible. i.e. their green (or walk for peds) displays are permitted to be on at the same time. Note each MMU channel number typically corresponds to the same load switch number, i.e. MMU channel 4 monitors load switch 4’s outputs. It is recommended to use your understanding of intersection operation as well as the Signal Display Diagram in the intersection TE drawings to determine concurrent (compatible) field outputs. This is the best method to determine MMU compatibilities. Important: Ensure you enter the compatibilities for the pedestrian output channels as well (9-12). The MMU does not assume that vehicle phases are output on channels 1-8 and their corresponding pedestrian movements are output on channels 9-12. Therefore you will need to add compatibilities here between vehicle phases and any concurrent pedestrian movements. E.g. if phases 2 & 6 are concurrent you will need to ensure channels 2 & 6 are compatible with each other as well as with ped channels 9 & 11. Channels 9 & 11 will also have to be compatible with each other. TS1 Retrofit Installation: Disabled Screen. As the TS2/MMU Type Cabinet option was disabled in the last screen, you will be unable to access this screen.

IF/THEN/ELSE

The Logic Processor statement in an IF/THEN/ELSE format based on controller unit internal timers and states as well as its Inputs and Outputs (I/Os). If you press a key adjacent to the IF, THEN or ELSE the Cobalt will give a list of all timers, states and I/Os that can be used in the statement. After an item is added, more detail is needed. For example if you add ‘VEH GREEN ON PH’ beside an IF, you will need to add in two more details: which phase #, and whether it is ON or OFF. The typical application for the Logic Processor is for activating the Advance Warning Flashers before a phase terminates. TS2 Cabinet Advance Warning The most recent TS2 cabinets use the normally un-used yellow output of the pedestrian load switches (LS9-12) to activate the advance warning flashers. Below are 2 sample Logic Processor statements used to actuate Advance warning flashers for the highway phases 2 & 6 in a standard TS2 NEMA Dual Ring controller. In this case phases 2 & 6 in the controller unit activate the advance warning flashers and the field displays for phases 2 & 6 are delayed overlaps (OLB & OLF) of phases 2 & 6. Activating the advance warning for phase 2: IF VEH GREEN ON PH 2 IS ON THEN SIG SET PH PED CLR 2 OFF ELSE SIG SET PH PED CLR 2 ON And activating the advance warning for phase 6: IF VEH GREEN ON PH 6 IS ON THEN SIG SET PH PED CLR 6 OFF ELSE SIG SET PH PED CLR 6 ON These examples assume Load Switches 9 and 11 are used for the Phase 2 & 6 pedestrian outputs respectively. TS1 Cabinet Advance Warning The NEMA TS1 Type M & S cabinets require some cabinet modifications including Controller Unit I/O re-mapping, re-wiring the advance warning flashers, and the addition of an adapter cable when retrofitting a Cobalt into them. Refer to Volume 1 of the Traffic Controller Assembly Manual for instructions on how to perform this retrofit before continuing. If the TS1 cabinet has been properly modified for the Cobalt the following statements will actuate Advance Warning:



Using the previous examples, activating the advance warning for phase 2: IF VEH GREEN ON PH 2 IS ON THEN LP SET COB OFF 521 ELSE LP SET COB ON 521 And activating the advance warning for phase 6: IF VEH GREEN ON PH 6 IS ON THEN LP SET COB OFF 525 ELSE LP SET COB ON 525 These statements can be used for Advance Warning on any phase. The COB codes for Advance Warning Phases 1-8 are COB 520-527 respectively. Refer to the ASC/3 Programming Manual Appendix on the Logic Processor at the end of this manual for more information on using the Logic Processor.

FLASH GRN Enter ‘.’, 1, 2 or 5 for solid, 1fps, 2.5fps or 5fps green display.

LAG X PH

Enter an X under each Included phase where the overlap green terminates after (lags) the Included phase green has terminated. The amount of time after the Included phase green terminates that must expire before the overlap green terminates is determined by the LAG GRN time. Lagging Vehicle Overlaps are used to provide the advance warning function. E.g. Advance warning for phase 2 can be achieved by using a lagging overlap A to control the phase 2 field displays. When phase 2 green in the controller terminates this is the beginning of the advance warning period but the lagging green overlap is still on until LAG GRN expires. This works for phase 2 advance warning provided LAG GRN is set to the phase 2 advance warning time and the YEL and RED times are set to the phase 2 yellow and red times as shown on the STS.

LAG 2 PH Leave blank for typical Ministry overlaps. Refer to the Help Screen for details of this feature if complex overlap operation is required.

LAG GRN Enter time after the Included phase green terminates that the overlap green terminates. If used for advance warning this is programmed with the AWF TIME as shown on the STS.

COBALT PROGRAMMING GUIDE EXAMPLE – PED ACTIVATED SIGNAL


PROGRAMMING EXAMPLE: PEDESTRIAN ACTIVATED SIGNAL

SIGNAL DESCRIPTION This is an example of a pedestrian actuated traffic signal controlled by a TS2-P6 cabinet. A summary of this intersection configuration and operational requirements:

• A single phase on the highway for movements A1 & A2 which will always be on at this same time.

• A single pedestrian only phases for the pedestrian crossing.

Note that for this example there is no Loop Assignment Sheet (LAS) as there is for the other examples. This is because no vehicle detection is required at a pedestrian actuated signal.

Only data entries that require analysis and entry by the user are described. If details are not provided it is assumed the default value is used as indicated in the general programming section.

SIGNAL DISPLAY DIAGRAM The signal display diagram is typically found on the Traffic Engineering (TE) electrical plans for each traffic signal. It is an important tool for quickly understanding: signal sequence, concurrent phases, phase and pedestrian output compatibilities and preemption sequences. The figure below is the signal display diagram for this example program.

Signal Display Diagram for Example Pedestrian Actuated Signal



SIGNAL TIMING SHEET (STS) Below is the signal timing sheet to be used as a reference for this example program.



PHASE RING SEQUENCE AND ASSIGNMENT (MM-1-1-1)

BARRIER CONTROL Enter B for Barrier Control.

CONTROLLER SEQUENCE #1 Enter phases 1-8 in sequence in Ring 1 with no barrier. This creates an 8-phase sequential controller although only two phases will be used.

BACKUP PREVENT PHASES (MM-1-1-3)

BACKUP PREVENT MATRIX Leave empty. There is no possibility of a left-turn trap in a two phase sequential controller. No backup prevent required.



SIMULTANEOUS GAP PHASES (MM-1-1-4)

SIMULTANEOUS GAP PHASES Leave matrix empty.

PHASE IN USE/PED (MM-1-2)

PHASES IN USE Enable phases 2 and 4 for use. Phase 2 will be the vehicle phase. Phase 4 will be the pedestrian crossing phase.

EXCLUSIVE PED

Enable phase 4 as an exclusive ped. Enabling phase 4 as an exclusive ped makes it a ped only phase. There will be no associated vehicle phase running concurrently when this is set.



LOAD SWITCH ASSIGN (MM-1-3)

LOAD SWITCH TO PHASE/OVERLAP MAPPING

Assign Overlap 1 to load switch 2. Assign Phase 4 Pedestrian to load switch 10. No other load switches need be installed for this signal.

SDLC OPTIONS (MM-1-4-1)

DETECTOR RACK Leave unchecked. No vehicle detectors are required for this signal, therefore no detector racks either.



MMU PROGRAM (MM-1-4-2)

MMU COMPATIBILITY MATRIX

Leave all unchecked. No phases are allowed to be on together.

LOGIC STATEMENT CONTROL (MM-1-8-1)

LOGIC PROCESSOR STATEMENT #1 CONTROL

Enable statement #1. This logic statement is required to be enabled at all times.



LOGIC STATEMENTS (MM-1-8-2)

LOGIC PROCESSOR STATEMENT #1

Use logic statement shown in image. This statement explained: IF the flashing phase 2 green signal is off AND IF The lagging overlap A green is still on THEN Force the overlap A green output on steady rather than flashing as it is programmed to do.



TIMING PLANS (MM-2-1)

TIMING PLAN #1

Enter timing values from STS for Phases 2 & 4. Phase 2 MIN GRN determines the minimum ped re-service time. Phase 4 WALK and PED CLR determines the pedestrian crossing times.



VEHICLE OVERLAPS (MM-2-2)

VEHICLE OVERLAP A

Enter X for INCLUDED under Phase 2. This will ensure Overlap A is only on when Vehicle Phase 2 is on. Enter 1 for FLSH GRN under Phase 2. This will make the overlap (field display) green flash at 60fpm. Enter X for LAG X PH under Phase 2. This will ensure Overlap A green will stay (lag) on for a time after Vehicle Phase 2 green has terminated. Enter 5.0 for LAG GRN. This is the time that the vehicle signal display green will be on solid after a pedestrian call. Enter 3.0 for YEL. This is the yellow time for the vehicle signal display. It must match the STS yellow time for Phase 2. Enter 2.0 for RED. This is the red time for the vehicle signal display. It must match the STS red time for Phase 2.

VEH/PED OVERLAPS (MM-2-3)

OVERLAP MATRIX Do not enter anything. This is a summary screen and should show the link between Overlap A and Phase 2.



START/FLASH (MM-2-5)

START UP SETTINGS

Enter Y under Phase 2. Signal will exit flash into 3-colour when the vehicle signal display cycles to yellow. It will then proceed to red and service the ped crossing before resting on the phase 2. Enter X under Overlap A. We want overlap A to behave coming out of flash as it would during normal 3-colour operation.

CONTROLLER OPTIONS (MM-2-6-1)

CONTROLLER OPTIONS Do not enter anything. There are no phases requiring Dual Entry to be enabled.



PHASE RECALL (MM-2-8)

COBALT PROGRAMMING GUIDE EXAMPLE –CONFLICTING LEFT TURNS ON THE HIGHWAY


PROGRAMMING EXAMPLE: GEOMETRICALLY CONFLICTING PROTECTED LEFT TURNS ON THE

HIGHWAY

SIGNAL DESCRIPTION This program is currently controlling the traffic signal at Highway 7 and Meadowtown Way in Pitt Meadows. The signal is controlled by a TS2-P6 cabinet.

A summary of this intersection configuration and operational requirements:

• Protected left turns on the highway (Ax/Ay) which may not be on at the same time due to intersection geometry.

• Ay is a typical leading left turn while Ax lags its adjacent through movement A1. • There is a weekday time clock schedule and a weekend time clock schedule. • This signal is in coordination with other Highway 7 intersections for most of the day. It runs free

in the late evening and early morning. • There is emergency preemption for each intersection approach.


SIGNAL DISPLAY DIAGRAM The signal display diagram is typically found on the Traffic Engineering (TE) electrical plans for each traffic signal. It is an important tool for quickly understanding: signal sequence, concurrent phases, phase and pedestrian output compatibilities and preemption sequences.

The following figure is the signal display diagram for this example program.



Signal Display Diagram for Lougheed Hwy at Meadowtown Way, Pitt Meadows



LOOP ASSIGNMENT SHEET (LAS) Below is the loop assignment sheet to be used as a reference for this example program.




BARRIER CONTROL Enter C for Compatibility Control.

CONTROLLER SEQUENCE #1

Enter phase sequences for Ring 1 & 2 as shown. This creates a NEMA Dual Ring configuration but there is no barrier shown as we are using compatibility mode to ensure the geometrically conflicting left turns may not be on together. Note that Ring 2 has phases 5 and 6 reversed to create the lagging left turn as required by the STS.

PHASE COMPATIBILITY (MM-1-1-2)

PHASE COMPATIBILITY MATRIX

Enter as shown. This shows the typical NEMA Dual Ring Compatibilities for Phases 1, 2, 5 & 6 with the exception of 1 & 5 as these phases are incompatible due to intersection geometrics.



BACKUP PREVENT PHASES (MM-1-1-3)

BACKUP PREVENT MATRIX Leave empty. There is no possibility of a left-turn trap with protected left turns on the highway and a single cross-street phase.


SIMULTANEOUS GAP PHASES Enter an X under 2 on row 6. Enter an X under 6 on row 2.



PHASES IN USE (MM-1-2)

IN USE Enter X under Phases 1, 2, 5, 6 and 8. These are the phases shown as ON in the STS.

LOAD SWITCH ASSIGNMENT (MM-1-3)


Assign Vehicle Phases 1, 2, 5, 6 and 8 to Load Switches 1, 2, 5, 6 and 8 respectively. There is no Advance Warning on the highway so vehicle phases can be used for load switches 2 and 6 rather than overlaps. Assign Pedestrian Outputs for Phases 2, 4, 6 and 8 to Load Switches 9, 10, 11 and 12 respectively as per default configuration.




SDLC PORT 1 CONFIG Ensure configuration is at default settings as shown.



Enter compatibilities as shown. Note that these MMU compatibilities are exactly the same as the phase compatibilities in MM-1-1-2 with the exception that the pedestrian output compatibilities must be added for the MMU.




TIMING PLAN #1 Enter timing values from STS.




START UP

Enter R under Phases 2 & 5. The traffic signal will exit flashing red on phases 2 & 5 and enter 3-colour solid red on phases 2 & 5. The first green display will be phase 8 as indicated on the STS.


CONTROLLER OPTIONS Do not enter anything. There is only a single phase on the cross-street so Dual Entry is not required.




VE RECALL Enter X under Phases 2 & 6. This will turn extendible min recall on for phases 2 & 6 as indicated on the STS.

COORDINATOR OPTIONS (MM-3-1)

COORDINATOR OPTIONS Enter default values as shown.



COORDINATOR PATTERNS (MM-3-2)

COORDINATOR PATTERN #1

Enter Split Pattern #1 to be used in the coordinator pattern. Split pattern 1 will be defined later in MM-3-3. Enter the Cycle Length and Offset Value for this pattern. Cycle Length and Offset Value is given on the STS. It is not recommended to enter data below the SPLIT REFERENCE PHASES heading on this screen. All of this information is entered in the split pattern screen in MM-3-3. It will automatically appear here afterwards.



SPLIT PATTERNS (MM-3-3)

SPLIT PATTERN #1

Enter the splits for Coordinator Pattern #1. Splits are noted on the STS. Enter an X under Phases 2 & 6 for COORD. This makes 2 & 6 the coordinated phases as per the STS. After entry all this information will appear at the bottom of the coordinator pattern #1 screen (MM-3-2) as split pattern 1 was linked to coordinator pattern 1 on that screen.

SPLIT PATTERN #2




SPLIT PATTERNS (MM-3-3)

SPLIT PATTERN #3


SPLIT PATTERN #4




PREEMPT PLAN 1-10 (MM-4-1)

EMERGENCY PREEMPT PLAN #3

ENABLE Enter YES.

DWEL VEH Enter an X under phases 2 & 5. Phases called by each preemption input are noted under the phase description on the STS.

EXIT PH Enter an X under phases 2 & 5.

TERM PH

Enter NO. There is no possible left turn trap with this intersection configuration so an all-red at beginning of sequence is not required.

ENTRANCE TIMING

Enter 0s for walk. Enter 255s for ped clearance. Enter 4s for min green. Enter 25.5s for yellow and red. This ensures the phase yellow and red time is used from the timing plan.

DWL/CYC-EXIT

Enter 180s for max dwell time. This ensures that the controller will ignore a preemption input if it exceeds 180s in duration. Enter 25.5s for yellow and red. This ensures the phase yellow and red time is used from the timing plan.

Important: Using the maximum allowable yellow and red time here is important. The Cobalt will use the entrance phase’s Timing Plan (MM-2-1) yellow and red time or the ones programmed here – whichever is less. If you were to enter the max yellow and red time of any phase on the STS is would be correct but may cause error in the future. E.g. If a newer STS increased the maximum phase yellow and red times you would update it in the Timing Plan but could forget to change it here. The result would be inadequate yellow and red times when entering or exiting the preemption sequence.





ENABLE Enter YES.

DWEL VEH Enter an X under phases 1 & 6. Phases called by each preemption input are noted under the phase description on the STS.


TERM PH

ACTION PLAN #8

Enter 254 for the pattern number. This defaults to free operation. When this action plan is called the controller will run using the default timing plan 1. Enter X under Phases 1, 2, 5, 6 & 8 for MAX 2. When this action plan is called it will use the Max 2 times in timing plan 1 rather than Max 1.

Note: Action Plan #8 is identical to Action Plan #6 on the STS. For this reason you could choose to not create this Action Plan and use Action Plan #6 in its place in the Day Plan schedule(s).




DAY PLAN #1

Enter the action plan schedule for weekdays. This corresponds to the weekday time clock settings on the STS.

DAY PLAN #2

Enter the action plan schedule for weekends. This corresponds to the weekend time clock settings on the STS.

Enter an X under phases 4 & 8 for DUAL ENTRY. This way if a call to the cross-street is made for phase 4 only it will also activate phase 8 concurrently. Enter an F2 under phases 1, 3, 5 & 7 for FLASHING GRN PH. This will ensure the green arrows for these protected/permissive left turns flash at the appropriate rate.




VE RECALL Enter X under Phases 2 & 6. This will turn extendible min recall on for phases 2 & 6 as indicated on the STS.




Note: this intersection uses a 6-wire rail interconnect where preempt input 1 is activated only if the rail interconnect supervisory circuit faults. As the controller unit must assume the worst with a faulting rail preemption signal this sequence will move to the track clearance phases and will then go into flash until the rail preemption call terminates.

RAIL PREEMPT PLAN #1

ENABLE Enter YES.

ENTRANCE TIMING

Enter 0s for walk and ped clearance. Rail pre-emption truncates all pedestrian movements. Enter 4s for min green. As dictated in programming comment #1 on the STS. Enter 25.5s for yellow and red. This ensures the phase yellow and red time is used from the timing plan.

TERM PH Enter YES. This will force an all-red period as dictated in comment #2 on the STS.

TRKCLR V Enter an F2 under phase 3 and an X under phase 8. This indicates phase 3 and 8 are the track clearance phases.

TRACK CLEAR TIMING

Enter 53s for min green. As dictated in programming comment #3 on the STS. Enter 25.5s for yellow and red. This ensures the phase yellow and red time is used from the timing plan.



PREEMPT PLAN 1-10 (MM-4-1) Note: this intersection uses a 6-wire rail interconnect where preempt input 2 is activated only if a train is approaching and there is no fault with the rail interconnect supervisory circuit. This is the true rail preemption sequence.

RAIL PREEMPT PLAN #2

ENABLE Enter YES.

ENTRANCE TIMING

Enter 0s for walk and ped clearance. Rail pre-emption truncates all pedestrian movements. Enter 4s for min green. As dictated in programming comment #1 on the STS. Enter 25.5s for yellow and red. This ensures the phase yellow and red time is used from the timing plan.

TERM PH Enter YES. This will force an all-red period as dictated in comment #2 on the STS.

TRKCLR V Enter an F2 under phase 3 and an X under phase 8. This indicates phase 3 and 8 are the track clearance phases.

TRACK CLEAR TIMING

Enter 53s for min green. As dictated in programming comment #3 on the STS. Enter 25.5s for yellow and red. This ensures the phase yellow and red time is used from the timing plan.

CYC VEH

Enter X under phases 2 & 6 and an F2 under phases 5 & 7. This indicates these vehicle phases can be cycled through while the preemption input is active. As per comment #4 and phase descriptions on STS.

CYC PED Enter an X under phases 2 & 6. This indicates these phases’ pedestrian displays can be cycled through while the preemption input is active.

CYC OLP

Enter an X under overlaps 1 & 2 (A & B). This enables the vehicle displays for phases 2 & 6 during this preemption input. This is required because there is advance warning for phases 2 & 6.

DWL/CYC-EXIT TIMING Enter 25.5s for yellow and red. This ensures the phase yellow and red time is used from the timing plan.





ENABLE Enter YES.

DWEL VEH Enter an X under phase 2 and an F2 under phase 5. Phases called by each preemption input are noted under the phase description on the STS.

DWEL OLP

Enter an X under overlap 1 (A). This enables the vehicle display for phase 2 during this preemption input. This is required because there is advance warning for phase 2.


TERM PH Enter YES. There is a possible left turn trap if phase 6 is active when this preemption call is made.

ENTRANCE TIMING

Enter 0s for walk. Emergency pre-emption truncates the walk interval. Enter 255s for ped clearance. This ensures the controller uses the entrance phase programmed ped clearance time. Enter 4s for min green. Enter 25.5s for yellow and red. This ensures the phase yellow and red time is used from the timing plan.

DWL/CYC-EXIT

Enter 180s for max dwell. This ensures the controller ignores an emergency pre-emption call that last longer than 3 minutes. Enter 25.5s for yellow and red. This ensures the phase yellow and red time is used from the timing plan.





ENABLE Enter YES.

DWEL VEH Enter an F2 under phase 1 and an X under phase 6. Phases called by each preemption input are noted under the phase description on the STS.

DWEL OLP

Enter an X under overlap 2 (B). This enables the vehicle display for phase 6 during this preemption input. This is required because there is advance warning for phase 6.


TERM PH Enter YES. There is a possible left turn trap if phase 2 is active when this preemption call is made.

ENTRANCE TIMING


DWL/CYC-EXIT






ENABLE Enter YES.



TERM PH Enter YES. There is a possible left turn trap if phases 4 & 8 are active when this preemption call is made.

ENTRANCE TIMING


DWL/CYC-EXIT





ACTION PLAN #1

Enter 0 for the pattern number. This defaults to AUTO operation. When this action plan is called the controller will run the specified timing plan 1. Enter 1 for the timing plan. Timing plan 1 from MM-2-1 will be used when this action plan is called by time of day. Enter an X under phases 3 & 7 for OMIT. This omits these ‘rail preemption only’ phases from normal controller operation. The logic processor is responsible for overriding these omits when rail preemption is called.




ACTION PLAN #2

Enter 0 for the pattern number. This defaults to AUTO operation. When this action plan is called the controller will run the specified timing plan 2. Enter 2 for the timing plan. Timing plan 2 from MM-2-1 will be used when this action plan is called by time of day. Enter an X under phases 3 & 7 for OMIT. This omits these ‘rail preemption only’ phases from normal controller operation. The logic processor is responsible for overriding these omits when rail preemption is called.




DAY PLAN #1

Enter the action plan schedule for weekdays. This corresponds to the weekday time clock settings on the STS.

DAY PLAN #2

Enter the action plan schedule for weekends. This corresponds to the weekend time clock settings on the STS.




SCHEDULE #1

Enter an X under each weekday in the DOW row. This will ensure the linked day plan is used only on weekdays. Enter a 1 for Day Plan No. This will link day plan 1 to this weekday schedule.

SCHEDULE #2

Enter an X under each weekend day in the DOW row. This will ensure the linked day plan is used only on weekends. Enter a 2 for Day Plan No. This will link day plan 2 to this weekend schedule.



VEHICLE DETECTOR SETUP (MM-6-2)

NOTE: All detector inputs given on the Loop Assignment Sheet must be programmed. The two detectors shown here are examples on how these detectors are programmed.

VEHICLE DETECTOR #1

Enter 1 under PH. Detector calls/extends phase 1. Enter NO for ECPI LOG. Detector is not used for volume counts. Enter 10.0 beside DELAY TIME. Detector has a 10s delay.

VEHICLE DETECTOR #2

Enter 2 under PH. Detector calls/extends phase 2. Enter YES for ECPI LOG. Detector is used for volume counts.



VEHICLE DETECTOR PHASE ASSIGNMENT (MM-6-1)

VEHICLE DETECTOR ASSIGNMENT SUMMARY

As previously mentioned it is not recommended to program detectors here as all the details are not present on this screen. However it is recommended that after programming all detectors you then compare the LAS with this screen as a quality control check.
